Kids for Katrina Relief ends Oct. 31

Following Hurricane Katrina, the department invited schools to participate in Kids for Katrina Relief. The statewide initiative will raise money for schools most affected by the first of two hurricanes to hit the Gulf Coast.

The Kids for Katrina Relief effort will end Oct. 31. Participating schools are reminded to send a check payable to “South Dakota Department of Education—Katrina Relief” to the address noted below. The department will send one check to the Hurricane Katrina Relief Fund, set up by the Louisiana Department of Education to help get south Louisiana students back into the classroom and the stable, safe environment that they need so badly at this time. At the end of the fund-raising initiative, we will announce the total amount collected by South Dakota schools.

Send checks to:
South Dakota Department of Education
Attn: Kids for Katrina Relief
700 Governors Drive
Pierre SD 57501
